Thanks Jerry.

I have a question about the following statement:

>are decent replacements for molded micas of old, generally with better
>stability, though rarely some come faulty.

Are there any other replacements for a mica capacitor?   Or is that the only
type of capacitor that can work in the places where Collins used micas?
Personally, I not so concerned about how original the *inside* looks - I
want this radio to sound good as I plan on using it regularly with the tx
for nets and other scheds.  Tom W6EIJ
